Weekly Status Report #4

This week I only came to school for three out of the five days. I missed Thursday and Friday because of the bad weather so the busses were cancelled so i had no way of coming to school. This week, one of the things that I was looking forward to the most was getting my first test back. I did much better than I thought that I would have since Ms. Emami kept explaining to the class that lots f people had done poorly and I was afraid one of thoese people were me. On Monday, we had a lesson about software documentation. This was important because by using software documentation, another programmer could open up the project and they will be able to understand what each line of code is about. Then on tuesday, we had a lesson about if and else statements on visual basic. With these new key words, we are now able to make prgrams that can put words and numbers in order as well as have different outputs for one question (depending on what the user input). On Wednesday, Ms. Emami went around the class and marked our third visual basic programs (TIKVB2). For this program that user was supposed to be aloud to input three numbers and then have a choice between three buttons to click and then whichever button was clicked, the outcome was supposed to show the correct answer. For what we did on the next two days, I will look on the teacherweb, ask others in the class, or wait for monday to talk to Ms. Emami to see what i missed.

This week, I only faced one problem. It came in TIKVB6, I think. Well, it was the one with the plural of sheep. My problem was that I didn't know how to put more than one possibility in one line. I still don't know if it is possible but to get around that I made the different possiblilities (sheep, Sheep, and SHEEP) in different lines each starting with elseif. The only thing that stayed the same was the output message because all of those anwasers were right, it jsut depends on how the user types the answer in.

In the future, I hope to to well on the quiz on visual basic that in on thursday. Also I hope that I keep learning different key words on visual basic so I will be able to create really complex programs that could do really hard calculations.
